The Mask of Mirrors was one of my favorite books of 2021 and book two definitely did not disappoint. With all the worldbuilding done in the first book, I really felt like I could sit back and enjoy the wild ride of this book full of secret societies, secret identities, and tension galore. Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen next I got thrown for another fantastic and exciting loop that drove me even deeper into the story and left me unable to put the book down for hours. I loved how I felt even more connected to each of the characters and wanted to root for all of them(even when I wasn't really supposed to). 
Carrick have managed to imbue such a rich world while keeping me on my toes every chapter and giving me characters that I cannot stop thinking about. I will definitely be reading all of their work going forward!!
